  • "Great location with excellent views and all of the equipment to make a good holiday."

    Looking a little tired overall but reflected in the price so an observation rather than a complaint. 2 important points. The underfloor central heating is set to 20 degrees and any attempt to increase temp is overridden. The property was very cold when we entered and went to bed almost fully clothed on the first night. The only way to get a comfortable temp of 21/22 is to use the log burner every day with the internal doors open to keep things warmer. I burnt a bag of logs every day so factor the cost into the holiday. Safety point, whilst the parking area is well lit the path to the property and the stone steps are not lit at all. I fell down the stone steps on the first evening. Take a torch with you.

    Thank you for your feedback, Responding to your 2 important points: The heating is set at 21c, with the option for you to increase it up to24 c, which we noted you did do on your arrival day. The temperature in your bedroom that night was 21c. If you were cold , you could have rung us and we would have increased the thermostat above 24c. We are sorry you fell on the stone steps, we pay a service charge on Willow cottage and have reported the light as not working on the stone steps. If you had informed us of this at the time ,we could have notified management immediately and got them to rectify the light. Property Owner

  • "A very nice cottage in a lovely part of the country, very quiet, beautiful views from the property and a swimming pool on site too, we used the pool a few times and always had the pool to ourselves."

    A great place to stay and an ideal base to explore Cornwall. We went to the New Inn pub in Tywardreath most nights for a drink, just a couple of miles down the road but narrow lanes so be careful otherwise no problems at all, a very pleasant stay.

  • "Lovely cottage in a really great little complex."

    The Cottage was spacious and comfortable for our family with all the facilities expected and incredibly clean and looked after. The swimming pool was amazing! The playpark was also an additional bonus. The only suggestion we can make is can there be a bench for adults to sit on at the play park? The property requests that children are supervised but there is nowhere to sit.

  • "Lovely place in a beautiful location, with more than enough facilities."

    Complete lack of interaction saddened me though.

  • "Very comfortable and well appointed."

    Everything was very clean. Spacious lounge with unusual curved wall and several windows giving a lovely view. A welcome pack of Cornish tea, coffee and milk in the fridge. We took our own to be prepared but there were tea towels, washing up liquid, and dishwasher tablets . We cooked in the oven several times and there was a selection of well used baking trays. Only comment here is that the inside of the oven door wasn’t cleaned and we wiped off old food stains. The towels were pristine white and soft however one bath towel and one hand towel each is not enough for a week. We had taken some of our own. The swimming pool was like a warm bath and we had it to ourselves each time we used it. I do think the toilet should have been fixed though as the lack of it limited our time in the pool. From the promotion of Willow cottage we thought there was only one other on the site and hadn’t expected to see others in the vicinity although this was not detrimental to the location. Many local attractions are accessible. We enjoyed our stay and visited Fowey, (some very steep hills), Newquay Zoo, the Eden Project, Charlestown harbour and Mevagissey. There was plenty of literature in the cottage. There are lots of other places to visit and if staying longer we would have gone to the Seal Sanctuary. A car is essential but we found parking quite expensive. We would happily return except for us it is such a long drive. Everyone we met was very friendly.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Willow cottage."

    It was very comfortable and well stocked for self catering. My only issue was it was too hot and we couldn’t adjust the temperature of the heating control. I would definitely recommend you to friends and family though.

The attractive waterside village of Fowey is just three miles away, from where there are some dramatic cliff walks to Gribbin Head, passing through much of du Maurier’s familiar landscape. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
